This Privacy Policy explains how Dr. Hector Wiltz Dermatology ("we," "us," or "the practice") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with this website, wiltzdermatology.com. It applies to this website only. Health information you share with us as a patient is handled under our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, not this policy.

- Information you give us directly. If you call the phone number or email the address listed on the site, we receive the contact details and any information you choose to share (for example, your name and the reason for your inquiry).
- Basic usage information. Like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics we use may automatically record limited technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This helps us understand site performance and traffic.
- Cookies and similar technologies. The site may use cookies or similar technologies to remember preferences and measure usage. See "Cookies and Tracking" below.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive medical information through this website.

How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information only in these circumstances:
- With service providers who help us operate the website (for example, our web hosting and analytics providers), who are permitted to use the information only to provide those services.
- When required by law, regulation, legal process, or a governmental request.
- To protect the rights, safety, or property of the practice, our patients, or others.
Cookies and Tracking
